Scoutcast and Champions League combine for Tuesday night double-up

Joe is joined by David and Karam for the latest episode of the Scoutcast tonight.

You can watch it on our YouTube channel from 8pm BST to 9pm BST.

This episode overlaps with the return of European football to our screens.

Liverpool and Chelsea take on Napoli and Valencia respectively as the Champions League group stages get underway on Tuesday night.

We will have Scout Notes on those matches on Wednesday, but for now, there’s a brand new episode of the Scoutcast to occupy your attention.

On tonight’s agenda are the best cheap defenders now that the premium ones have frustrated their owners.

We’ll also discuss how best to cover Manchester City in the wake of their surprise defeat at Norwich.

Finally, we’ll debate how to recover from a poor start to the season as many managers have endured a tough few weeks.

    So who is still in for Tammy with Mount possibly out? Extra pressure to deliver the goods.

    I do not see this ending well.

    1. All For One
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Is Mount injured?

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        He may be. Hold onto him = Martial.

  2. Twisted Saltergater

    Hate to see that. Genuine tackle from Robertson, and the Napoli player simulates a dive over his outstretched leg.

    Not even a Liverpool fans. Why the hell have VAR?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      VAR just a load of BS to disrupt the game.

      Does not stop anyone from diving.

    VAR is ridiculous. Not a pen, but not a clear error because it looked like a pen, so it's a pen?

    Madness.

    1. Bushman
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Agreed. Why doesn't var just say whether it's a pen or not.

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Another filthy dive

      1. fr3d
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Wesley was not impressed by Mount's reaction

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Has that been photoshopped?

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Nope, he really does put his hand in the air like that when he tackles.

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

        It's only a flesh wound!

      few weeks out then

  4. elchilangles
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    what the is the point in having VAR if you're not going to overturn ridiculously penalty decisions?!?!?! That was NEVER a penalty!!!!

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Agreed, it's absolutely crazy.

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years

        Absolutely agreed

      101.3 to go for a 0.1m rise.

          It was probably a higher negative number before the weekend.

          1. have you seen cyan

            weird i dont get it

      He's closer to a price drop than a price rise.

    Seems like the English CL dominance is already over

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      What dominance?

      English teams have been embarrassed in Europe this decade by the Spainish.

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Ancient history gramps, look at last year

        1. Maddi Son
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I'm guessing he thinks Manchester United dominate the Premier League too. They've won the most titles in the last 10-20 years.

          Logic/10

    2. TRE2
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      What does that even mean?

    Challenge worse than Schumacher’s on Battiston

    F&ck off Willian. Idiot put him off

    Barkley misses penalty

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Wonder if he also gets to enjoy racial hatred now

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Why don't the bloody strikers take the pens anyway?

  12. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    You made stupid decision. Give it to Jorgino!!!

  13. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Jorgino is great penalty taker. I hate being coccky like Barkley and he is terible at penalties.

  14. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 7 Years

    What a shite footballer Barkley is

  15. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Barkley is pure comedy.

  16. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Nooooooooooooo dammm it

  17. Bartowski

    Jesus Barkley

  18. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    Anyone else reckon Liverpool Chelski could be a seriously high scoring affair on Sunday?

    Both teams suspect at the back of late, and almost a week’s recovery time to stew over what will likely be two bad European results they’ll want to bounce back from...

    I’m thinking 4-2 or 4-3 to Liverpool

    Salah captaincy is a distinct possibility depending on Sterling minutes tomorrow

    1. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      also tempting me to do Haller to Tammy this week with one of my 2 FTS

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Aye it could be. Or could be low scoring.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Very true

        It could also be middle scoring

        I do think there are some stars aligning to make it a goal fest though

  19. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Barkley off pens

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Forever

    2. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      He wasn't on them.

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      shoddy when a team doesnt have a set and forget pen taker, what are man u and chelsea doing. This is basic stuff that can cost games

  20. Je suis le chat
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Unfortunately named ref: Cuneyt Cakir.

  21. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years

    Mount injured.

    Barkley wagon begins.
    87th minute. Barkley wagon derails

    I am quite pleased with these haaland points in CL fantasy. Son of a former Red. Gotta love it 🙂

    Hi guys!

    What are your thoughts on this wildcard team?

    i tried to keep double city because of fixtures but also wanted Son. Only regret is not having Aubameyang.

    Pope Button

    Aurier Pieters Soyuncu Lundstrum Diop

    Son Sterling Mane De Bruyne Chong

    Haller Abraham Pukki

    0.0 itb

    thanks guys 🙂 🙂

    1. dshv
      • 6 Years

      Good

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Haller Abraham had many Sons .....

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Who pressed the Button when they felt Pukki and were taken to the Pope

  24. Bartowski
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    When did this start that players could just grab the ball and decide they were the penalty taker.

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Lack of strong leadership / management

      Imagine that happening in a team captained by Terry or Keane - nope

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I’d give my right arm for a young Roy Keane to suddenly arrive at old Trafford

        What a player

        1. Je suis le chat
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I'd say be better for young Haland to go to the red devils!

          1. RamaJama
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Funny you mentioned: Roy Keane ended Haaland’s fathers career by injuring him with perpest.

            1. RamaJama
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Keane was injured in A duell with Alfie Haaland. Then when fit, he attacked Alfie on perpest for revenue and that was the end of his career. True hero, Roy Keane... would have been prison if not on A stadium

              1. RamaJama
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                *revenge

              2. Je suis le chat
                • 10 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                One of Keane's many cowardly acts, a disgrace of a man.

              3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                • 14 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                It was a truly shocking tackle from Keane, but what goes around comes around - Haaland made that particular bed by choosing to taunt Keane when he was down on the ground with his knee blown apart (Keane was out for a year with that injury)

                And yes he is a true hero, I can’t think of many better performances than Juve away ‘99 - but he had hundreds of games of that nature

                Legend

                1. RamaJama

                  Agree, and past is past, today is today 🙂

                  1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                    • 14 Years
                    4 years, 6 months ago

                    And hence we come full circle back to today - where id give my right arm for a young Roy Keane to arrive at old Trafford

                    What a player 😉
